Name: Lonesome Paradise
Duration: P00H03M24S
Description: If anyone could've guessed by the title of the first song on the album it's a song that I wrote about Perth, it's one of the most beautiful cities in the country and the weather is always awesome but being so far away from the rest of the other big cities it tends to be forgotten about. In a way the song is about being somewhere you want to be but feeling isolated there in the meantime.

If anyone could've guessed by the title of the first song on the album it's a song that I wrote about Perth, it's one of the most beautiful cities in the country and the weather is always awesome but being so far away from the rest of the other big cities it tends to be forgotten about.

lyrics

I want fulfillment,
I want more purpose,
I want to feel worthwhile
and not so worthless,

It seems like Im starting to hate what I love the most,
Where once was a place I felt at peace,
now I loathe,

They say you're old news,
Got a case of the blues,
The perfect indication of the apathy cues
and exaggerations combined,
So step back and rewind,
because everything will work out in due time,

But Its eating at my mind
all the dreams I can't leave behind,
Collecting thoughts,
collecting doubt,
Keeping memories I want to live without.

Arriving at a point where you know there's gonna be nothing new,
Having the knowledge that there are no goals to even aspire to,
The way to and from this place is even a difficult route,
We're trapped here yet so damn near,
There is no way of getting out.

Eden's literally on my doorstep
So why does it bother me so much?

Eden's literally on my doorstep
So why does it bother me so much?

Why does it bother me so much?
